What is Terracotta Jewelry :

Making terracotta jewelry is a long drawnout  process spanning many days. Due to the nature of clay, artisans need to be dexterous and gentle with the source material, all the way up to the final step.

The artisans decide on different designs and patterns for the jewelry with rough sketches in mind. Then they use solder wire and mould it into a “U” that holds the clay together. The wire helps to mould the wet, mixed clay. This component dries in the  sun for 2-3 days. A process called baking follows after drying because drying helps with external moisture whereas baking deals with internal wetness. The clay “bakes” in intense (700-900 degrees celsius) heat for 4-5 hours. The final step consists of painting and decoration. 

What is Dhokra Jewelry 

Dhokra  is a non–ferrous metal casting using the ‘lost-wax casting’ technique. This technique of metal casting has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still in use.
